MHT CET Chemistry question

14 g of element combine with 16 g of oxygen. On the basis of this information, which of the followings is a correct statement?

(A)The element could have an atomic weight of 7 and its oxide is O
(B)The element could have an atomic weight of 14 and its oxide formula is
(C)The element could have an atomic weight of 7 and its oxide is Correct
(D)The element could have an atomic weight of 14 and its oxide is

Answer: (C)

Solution

Equivalent weight of X = 14/16 × 8 = 7; with atomic weight 7 (valency 1) the oxide is X₂O (14 g X : 16 g O), whereas XO with A = 7 would need 16 g O for 7 g X,
